soon to be extinct
Envelope creases
cross more kitchen secrets than:
mother's worn cookbook,
the crippled spoon on the shelf,
the whisk, the soup bowl, the dish.
Envelope creases
cross more dirty secrets than:
a taxis backseat,
the air muddled with prayer,
the old bartender downtown.
Envelope creases
cross more parenting secrets
than: the unwilling
daughter-in-law, a naughty
child, the breastfeeding mother.
Envelope creases
cross more aging secrets than:
the woman upstairs,
the dying grandmother, the
aged oak at home in the woods.
